<P><FONT size=3>"There has been a big increase in the number of subpoenas issued to reporters in recent years. Some of the more well-known cases: <I>New York Times</I> reporter Judith Miller, who went to jail for 85 days before her source, I. Lewis Libby, released her from a confidentiality agreement regarding conversations about CIA agent Valerie Plame; a 2006 case against video blogger Josh Wolf, who was jailed for civil contempt for 226 days for refusing to hand over to a federal grand jury out-takes of his video of a protest in San Francisco in July 2005; and an August 2007 court ruling that ordered five journalists to disclose their sources for news stories about Steven Hatfill, who had been considered a possible suspect in the 2001 anthrax attacks, or risk being held in contempt of court.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>In October 2007, the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the Free Flow of Information Act (H.R. 2102), which protects the confidentiality of reporters' sources in most federal cases. The fight is expected to get tougher when the Senate takes up the bill this year. Bush is likely to veto it if it reaches him, according to ABFFE (American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression)".</FONT></P>
